Daisy Mae coughed like that almost everyday for a couple months after we brought her home. Then now she would only do it maybe a couple times a month.
Yorkies also do this thing called reverse sneezing. It can sound like they are coughing or honking like a Goose! . It's where they breathe in and out through their nose and mouth at the same time. Strange I know but, no worries...they are fine when they do this. It usually only lasts a min. or less.

Yorkies have real fragile tracheas, so just keep water availble to your baby 24/7. Sometimes when Daisy gets a coughing fit if she won't drink water on her own, I give it to her on my fingers or feed it to her with a baby's medicine syringe. At least until she drinks on her own. Water always helps Daisy's little fits.

One thing you need to know that is important if you don't know this already, don't ever use a leash and collar around the neck to walk your baby. Use a harness and leash. My favorite Harness is from Chattiesmom (Cindy). She is a member on here and she is wonderful and her items are high quality. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...elections.html

If you need any other help or advise...please feel free to PM me. I would love to help any way I can.
